The Toledo Bee says that when
Republicans pretend to be pleased
with the presidents message because
they think it will help their disinteg-
rating cause, they should turn their
attention to Minnesota and wonder
where her electoral vote will be cast
il the tariff question becomes the
leading issue in . national compaign.
1t will be remembered that the Re
publicans of that state adopted low
tariff plank in the last campaign and
that both political parties up there
are in accord upon this great ques-
ton. Then, Republicans might give
a little thought to the Michigan case,
where ultra tariff reform ideas are
uppermost in the belief of the major
ity of voters. In Wisconsin, too, and
in Illinois, also, the march of pro
gress has been taken up, If the ques-
ton shall involve the readiustment OF
party lines, the Democrats will gain
more states than they will lose. The
president assumes no new standard,
but he places at the front ideas which
have a growing significance in the
progress of the trade of this country,
at home and abroad.

The Curse Of Gold.

There Is a singular superstition in
the mining districts of America that
the discoveries of hidden treasures in
the bowels of the earth are sure to
meet with violent end. Many in
stances are from time to time adduced
in support of the statement and go
far to show that numbers of adven-
tursrs literally die in their shoes. The
original proprietors of close on forty
successful mines have been accounted
for in this way. Twelve were shot,
three were ingulfed, while the rest
disappeared in the cities of Dakota
and New Mexico and were never heard
of afterward. George III. Fryer, from
whom the Fryer Hill Mine had its
name, committed suicide in Denver.
Two years before his death he possess

funeral had to be paid by the author

Mine in California was swallowed up
